Residents in Newton County's Country Woods neighborhood are grappling with an unsettling event over the weekend, as bullets tore through the facade of a home on Woodcrest Drive. According to FOX 5 Atlanta, the incident occurred around 9:44 a.m. on Saturday morning. The Newton County Sheriff's Office reported that deputies arrived to find several bullet holes punctuating the side of the residence, fortunately leaving no one injured.
This violent episode has prompted an urgent search for a towering figure shrouded in black—a tall male clad in a ski mask and a hoodie bearing a skeleton design. To potentially capture this person's movements, authorities are reaching out to locals to carefully review their security camera footage, specifically targeting the hour between 9 and 10 a.m. The Newton County Sheriff’s Office hopes these efforts will surface leads that could guide them to the individual who dared to disrupt the peace of this quiet suburban street.
